5. Strategy Basics | Our Challenge
We have agreed that our digital challenge is to enhance, online, the
participation of the Runnymede community in the celebrations of the
school’s 50th Anniversary.
We defined participation as “any interaction with the school related to it’s
50th Anniversary” (from taking part in an event to sharing a post in
Facebook, or any other form of engagement).

6. Strategy Basics | Brand Personality
A brand personality is a set of human characteristics associated with a
brand, that explain how the brand behaves.
We addressed the following questions concerning RC’s brand personality:
ü If Runnymede College was a person, how would she/he be?
ü What does the Runnymede Community feel & think about RC?
ü What do other people feel & think about RC?
